Ryan Fitzpatrick throws TD, gets really excited (GIF)
By Josh Hill
The Houston Texans are entering this season after bombing out last year in the worst of ways. They went from being Super Bowl picks by some to having the No. 1 pick in the draft following one of the most epic season-long flameouts we’ve ever seen in football.

Things got so bad that their head coach at the time, Gary Kubiak, had a mild stroke on the field during a game, which highlighted just how stressful the season was as a whole. But a new season has brought new hope — and a new quarterback as Ryan Fitzpatrick is in town to lead the team and so far he’s been doing a pretty decent job.
In fact, Fitzpatrick threw a touchdown pass in Saturday night’s game against the Falcons and proceeded to get pretty fired up about it.
You can’t blame Fitzpatrick for being excited though, as he had a rough exit from Buffalo with the Bills and didn’t really lead the Titans the way many thought he might.
But now that he’s in Houston, he’s in a position where he’s the starter again and while it won’t be for the long term, it’s clear Fitzpatrick is pretty fired about about getting his revenge on the NFL.
